Total gross bookings increased 21% (26% excluding foreign exchange) in the third quarter of 2015, driven by growth in the Core OTA business, including strong performance at Brand Expedia and Hotels.com.

Domestic gross bookings increased 22% and international gross bookings increased 19% (37% excluding foreign exchange). International bookings totaled $5.8 billion and accounted for 38% of worldwide bookings, consistent with the third quarter of 2014.

Hotel revenue increased 17% in the third quarter of 2015 on a 36% increase in room nights stayed driven by Brand Expedia and Hotels.com, partially offset by a 15% decrease in revenue per room night. Revenue per room night decreased primarily due to an unfavorable foreign exchange impact, both in translation and in book-to-stay, deliberate margin reductions aimed at expanding the size and availability of the global hotel supply portfolio, as well as increased promotional activities such as growing loyalty programs. Revenue per room night is expected to continue to decrease year-over-year in 2015. Average daily room rates (“ADRs”) decreased 6% year-over-year in the third quarter of 2015, as currency-neutral ADR growth was offset by an unfavorable foreign exchange translation impact.

Advertising and media revenue increased 17% in the third quarter of 2015 due to continued growth in trivago and Expedia® Media Solutions.
